PROBLEM 1:
A company distributes its product from a distribution center (DC) to five geographically located retail outlets using its own fleet of trucks. The monthly demand for the product (valued at $35 per unit) at each outlet is as follows:

Each retail outlet uses EOQ policy to order the items from the DC. Once an order is received by the DC, it can supply the retail outlet within 1 week ( Assume 1 month = 4.3 weeks). The ordering cost consists of a fixed cost of $200 per order (cost of truck and the driver) and a variable cost of $0.50 per mile travelled. Each retail outlet set their in-stock probability during the order cycle at 95%, The inventory carrying rate for this company is estimated at 24% per year.

(a) Determine the EOQ inventory policy (Order quantity, Safety Stock, Reorder Point) for each retail outlet. What is the average total cost per year?
(b) Determine the EOQ inventory policy (Order quantity, Safety Stock, Reorder Point) if all five retail outlets is jointly replenished? What is the average total cost per year? Table below gives the (symmetric) distance in miles between each pair of locations. Assume demands at retail outlets are independent of each other. (Hint: To compute the least joint ordering cost, you need to first determine the best route the truck should use!)
